Rumor has it, Shaq was also pretty good at basketball once upon a time. Just a hunch, though.

Unbeknownst to most—until now—is that the Big Diesel is something of a clairvoyant. It only figures that a Renaissance man of O'Neal's cultural, social and physical stature would also know a thing or two about predicting the future.
